Since next week marks the Fourth of July holiday here in the U.S., I thought it might be a good time to compile a list of all of the patriotic-themed teaching resources I have available for free here on my website!

Whether you are planning a summer group class, or just looking for fun activities for this laid-back time of the year, hopefully you can find some ideas that you can use with your students!

Patriotic Group Class Lesson Plan : I do some variation on this lesson plan with my students each summer, and it is always lots of fun! We learn about an American composer, listen to a famous patriotic piece for orchestra, and play an ensemble piece.

​Patriotic Name That Tune : Great for group classes or as a private lesson activity! This packet contains 3 levels of patriotic song excerpts for sight-reading and ear training fun.

I am excited to announce my newest release at the Composers Community at Piano Pronto--"Let's Quest! Volume 2!" This is my second video game inspired songbook, and includes 8 solos and 2 duets at the early intermediate level.

This collection is perfect for students who are fans of gaming, fantasy, or sci-fi. Click HERE to see and hear the music from this exciting new collection!

The newest addition to my "Free Stuff" section is a patriotic ear training challenge! This worksheet walks students through the process of playing the first section of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by ear.

This is a great tune for ear training: it is familiar, uses mostly step-wise motion, and contains no accidentals outside of the key signature. As a bonus, it can be harmonized using only the primary chords of I, IV, and V (or V7), which are familiar to most students.
